I bought this hen being told she was a dark brahma bantam, but to me she looks like a bantam partridge cochin. any thoughts???

Brahmas have a rose comb, Cochin have a straight comb.
She looks more Cochin to me. Brahmas seldom have that much leg feathering.
Dark Brahmas are not this color either. Google and see.

I did that with my baby chicks, inside an enclosure inside the chicken pen, they did great AND they will let you know when they are ready for the big wide world. Mine started running up & down the fence line chirping like mad, so I let them out & they did just fine with the adult chickens. The babies still hang out together & still sleep all in a huddle at night.
good luck.

Thanks that's what I was wondering. I saw a pic of a partridge brahma and it looked just like her! lol, her comb is straight too

I agree with you. I have dark brahmas, and they are not as red. They are more of a gray color. Mine are LF, but the bantams should be the same color. Plus, Brahmas have an inverted U shaped tail. Yours looks more like a puffy Cochin butt

I'm pretty sure I already know the answers, but please give me your opinions on the gender of these two. They are LF Cochin/Splash Frizzle and between 5-6 weeks old. Thanks!
